Ingredients
Serves 8- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 loaf bread (cut into 1-inch cubes (leftover or stale bread is best))
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes ((optional))
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a large baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Step 2
Slice the bread - Carefully slice the bread into small cubes, approximately 1 inch in size. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Step 3
Season and combine - In a small bowl mix together the olive oil and garlic. Drizzle the cubed bread with the garlic olive oil, then season with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Toss well (but gently) to combine.
- Step 4
Bake - Transfer the seasoned bread cubes to the prepared baking sheet and spread them into a single layer with space between each cube of bread. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden, turning them once during cooking to ensure all sides are cooked evenly, approximately 15 minutes.
- Step 5
Remove, cool, and serve - Remove the croutons from the oven and allow to cool thoroughly before adding them to your favorite soups and salads.
